Bio
TAAT operates as a performative spatial practice in between the fields of architecture, performance and artistic research. The core of their work is the project HALL33, a building that is a theatre play, and a theatre play that is a building. HALL33 facilitates encounters between audience members, institutions, practitioners, researchers and students and has been unfolding as ‘rehearsals through space’ from 2012 until now. All projects initiated by TAAT are framed within an open source methodology that is based on collective learning-by-doing approach. TAAT considers itself as a 'liquid collective', founded by Gert-Jan Stam and Breg Horemans in 2012.
